DIRECTIONS FOR USE

IMPORTANT: This information is approved as part of the Product Label. Allinstructions within this section must be read carefully in order to obtain safeand successful use of this product.

Restrictions• SIMBA® SX®, alone or in tank-mix, must not be applied to any crop suffering

from stress as a result of drought, waterlogging, low temperatures, pest ordisease attack, nutrient or lime deficiency or other factors reducing cropgrowth.

• Do not use SIMBA® SX® on cereal crops undersown with grasses, clover orother legumes or any other broad-leaved crop.

• SIMBA® SX® must not be tank-mixed with chlorpyrifos. Allow at least 14 days between application of SIMBA® SX® and chlorpyrifos treatments.

• When using tank-mixtures take care not to overlap spray swaths.• SIMBA® SX® should not be applied within 7 days of rolling any crop.• Do not use SIMBA® SX® in tank-mix on oats, triticale and linseed. On Linseed

allow at least 7 days between SIMBA® SX® and other treatments (10 days ifcrop is growing poorly or under stress).

• Contract agents should be consulted before using on crops grown for seed.

• Due to the high level of activity of the herbicide, special care must be takento avoid damage by drift onto broad-leaved plants outside the target area, oronto ponds, waterways or ditches. Thorough cleansing of equipment is alsovery important – see ‘Spray-tank cleanout’

• Refer to ‘Compatibility’ for details on use of SIMBA® SX® with other ‘ALSinhibiting’ herbicides

Weed ControlSIMBA® SX® is a highly active herbicide with foliar and root activity against awide range of broad-leaved weeds. It is most effective when applied to smallactively growing weeds. As larger weeds often become less susceptible, it isimportant to note the size of each weed species at the time of application. Goodspray cover of the weeds must be obtained. Weed control may be reducedwhen soil conditions are very dry. Nevertheless, with adequate soil moisture,susceptible weeds germinating soon after treatment will be controlled.

Weed ResistanceWhen herbicides with the same mode of action are used repeatedly overseveral years in the same field, selection of resistant biotypes can take place.These can propagate and may become dominating. A weed species isconsidered resistant to a herbicide if it survives a correctly-applied treatment

at the recommended dose. Development of resistance within a weed speciescan be avoided or delayed by sequencing or tank-mixing with suitable productshaving a different mode of action. A strategy for preventing and managingresistance should be adopted. The Weed Resistance Action Groups haveproduced guidelines and copies are available from the HGCA, CPA, yourdistributor, crop adviser or product manufacturer.

Charlock, Common Chickweed, Red Dead-nettle, Mayweeds, Shepherd’s-purse and Volunteer Rape will all be controlled by a dose of 25g/ha at thetimings listed above.

SoilSIMBA® SX® can be used on all soil types.

Volume and applicationApply in 100 - 400 litres of water per hectare, using suitable equipment to givegood spray cover of the weeds. The higher volume is recommended whencrops are thick or weed growth dense. When applying SIMBA® SX®, careshould be taken not to overlap spray swaths.

MixingBefore using SIMBA® SX®, make sure that the spraying equipment is clean.SIMBA® SX® mixes easily with water, but the following mixing procedureshould be followed: Quarter fill the spray tank with water, start the agitation andadd the required quantity of SIMBA® SX® directly to the tank without priorcreaming. Continue agitation while topping up the tank and while spraying.

CompatibilityTo widen the spectrum of activity and improve the control of some weeds,SIMBA® SX® may be applied with other herbicides, provided each product canbe applied within the label recommendations for its use. Always add SIMBA®

SX® to the spray tank first when using in tank-mix.

The following ‘joint application’ with other sulfonylurea and ‘ALS inhibiting’herbicides may be applied to a crop. Requirements and restrictions on otherproduct labels must be adhered to. ‘Joint application’ is the use of SIMBA®

SX® in tank mixture or sequence with one of the products listed below.

CROPS

• CerealsSIMBA® SX® can be used on all winter and spring varieties of wheat, oats,barley and triticale. SIMBA® SX® must only be applied from 1 February, providedthe crop has at least two leaves (wheat, oats and triticale) or three leaves(barley), until before the flag leaf extending stage.

DoseApply SIMBA® SX® at 30 g/ha when used alone or in tank-mix with other herbicides.

Following CropsOnly cereals, oilseed rape, field beans or grass may be sown in the samecalendar year to succeed a cereal crop treated with SIMBA® SX®.

• LinseedSIMBA® SX® should be applied to actively growing linseed (all varieties)from the growth stage “first pair of true leaves unfolded”, up to 30 cm highor before flower buds visible, whichever comes first. Most annual weedsare best controlled by the earliest application possible.

DoseApply SIMBA® SX® at 30 g/ha.

Following CropsOnly cereals should be planted within 16 months of applying SIMBA® SX® toa linseed crop. In the event of crop failure for any reason, sow only wheatwithin 3 months of the application of SIMBA® SX®.

• Green cover on land temporarily removed from production e.g. set-asideSIMBA® SX® may be applied to areas temporarily removed from productionwhere the green cover is made up predominantly (i.e. sufficient to maintainreasonable cover) of grassland, wheat, barley, oats or triticale. Whereestablished grass species are the main cover crop, some discoloration andstunting may occur. SIMBA® SX® is selective to seedling cereals from thethree-leaf stage (GS 13) but should not be used on seedling grasses.

Dose and timingApply SIMBA® SX® at 30 g/ha in 100 - 400 litres of water/ha before 1 Augustin year of application. The higher volume is recommended when weedgrowth is dense.Only one application of a sulfonylurea-containing product must be madeper calendar year to green cover on land temporarily removed fromproduction.

Following cropsSow only cereals within 16 months of applying SIMBA® SX® on green coveron land temporarily removed from production e.g. set-aside.

GeneralSIMBA® SX® effectively controls broad-leaved docks, with best controlachieved from application three weeks before or after cutting. Many otherbroad-leaved plants occurring in the “Set-aside” area will also be controlledor partially controlled, hence it may not be suitable for use where wild flowerborders or other forms of conservation headland are to be developed. Beforeusing on land taken out of production as part of a grant-aided scheme,ensure compliance with the management rules of that scheme.

WARNINGSEXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO AVOID DAMAGE BY DRIFT ONTOBROAD-LEAVED PLANTS OUTSIDE THE TARGET AREA OR ONTO SURFACEWATERS OR DITCHES OR LAND INTENDED FOR CROPPING. SPRAYINGEQUIPMENT SHOULD NOT BE DRAINED OR FLUSHED ONTO LAND PLANTEDWITH OR INTENDED FOR PLANTING WITH TREES OR CROPS OTHER THANCEREALS.POOR CLEANOUT PRACTICES AND INSUFFICIENT WATER VOLUMES USED

FOR THE RINSE PROCEDURE MAY RESULT IN INADEQUATE REMOVAL OFPRODUCT DEPOSITS. SUBSEQUENT USE OF APPLICATION EQUIPMENT INTHESE CIRCUMSTANCES MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO NON-CEREAL CROPS.

SPRAY TANK CLEAN-OUTTO AVOID SUBSEQUENT DAMAGE TO CROPS OTHER THAN CEREALS,IMMEDIATELY AFTER SPRAYING SIMBA® SX® THOROUGHLY CLEAN ALLSPRAY EQUIPMENT, INCLUDING INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF LID, USING THEFOLLOWING PROCEDURE:

Always start with a clean tank and spray system. Clean spray equipmentthoroughly immediately after use. 1. Thoroughly and completely rinse all interior tank surfaces (including lid) with

water (use at least 10% of the tank capacity), taking care to remove anyvisible deposits. Flush pump, filters and boom after removing in-line strainers,nozzle tips and screens (clean these parts separately). Drain the remainderof the rinsate from the tank.

2. Repeat the rinse, flush and drain.

GENERAL NOTES: Consult label tank cleanup procedures for all tank mix partners and be sure touse the most rigorous procedure recommended.
